Wow, this worked incredibly well, thank you.

Steeping grains is not the same as mashing, unless it is grains that can self-convert--base malts and lightly kilned grains like Munich or Vienna--in the conversion temperature range (144-160) then they will add additional sugars to the wort. However, Victory and honey malts have 0 diastatic...

Posting in case anyone else has the same question: "Sorry for the late response to your email. You need a 12 VDC power supply rated at 100 ma (or 1 Amp) or greater. Here is one sold on Amazon that will work with your stir plate...

Ok, thanks. Company has no phone number and doesn't return emails!

Thanks very much. I'm here because I emailed the company and no response. Maybe someone here has the correct power supply and can take a picture of the amperage?

Hey everyone. I moved recently and the power supply for my Stir Plate 3000 disappeared. Does anyone know where I can buy another one, or what I could use as a substitute? Thanks, CB

I've sent TigerShark part of this, but here is my order: Full sacks: Rahr red wheat malt Splits: Pale Chocolate (I will take 20lbs or whatever is left, max 20lb) Crisp Brown (20lb) Rye Malt (10lb) Thanks. Please let me know what I owe. CB

Ah, ok, thanks. Yeah, if I told you there were cherries you might be able to discern it, but otherwise not. Thanks everyone.

Don't mention at all? It seems to allow fruit if it is not noticeable, if it blends in.

Hey all. I'm about to enter the NHC for the first time, and I'm not sure of what category to enter one of my beers in. It's a smoked beer, with 50% of the grain bill made with malt I smoked myself over cherry wood. I then put cherries in the secondary. I split it into 4 batches to test...

It's true, I was not diligent enough on this buy keeping up with things, my apologies. Mason, if you don't want all 20# of the red I will take up to 10# of it off your hands.

Sorry I'm a little late to the party. I would like 20 lbs of PBW; 15 lbs of honey malt; and 15 lbs of vienna. I really wanted more than 10lbs of Golden Promise, but I realize I didn't move quickly enough. I would be interested in up to a half-sack if we can open up another split, or if anyone...

I don't know if others have tried this, but to save a step and to get the purest culture possible, I've been pouring a small portion of the slurry from the Wyeast pack or White Labs vial or ECY jar directly into my sterilized, glycerin/water-filled test tubes. Then I go on to use the reduced...

I am in Columbia Heights, in DC. Excellent. Anyone else interested in a split?

Hey there--can we order a bulk quantity of PBW this way? Also, anyone interested in a split of honey malt, Vienna malt, or golden promise?
